WHAT IS A NAVIGATION SYSTEM?
ABOUT THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
This navigation system combines the data obtained from the vehicle (by gyro sensor) and from GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites to calculate the current location of the vehicle. This position is then dis­played on the screen, allowing route guid­ance to a destination.
WHAT IS GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)?
GPS is a system developed and operated by the U.S. Government, covering the en­tire planet. This navigation system re­ceives three or more different radio sig­nals from NAVSTAR (GPS satellites), orbit­ing the earth 13,049 miles (21,000 km) above ground. The data from different sets of signals will be trigonometrically calcu­lated to obtain the position of the vehicle.
INFO: The tracking center in the U.S. controls
signals transmitted from GPS satellites. This control sometimes results in reduced accuracy or no signal received at all, in ac­cordance with government requirements.
INV1191
ACCURACY OF POSITIONING
The color of the GPS Indicator on the upper left corner of the screen indicates positioning as follows:
O Green: positioning is possible and ac-
curate
O Yellow: positioning is possible but ac-
curacy is minimal
O Gray: positioning is not possible
2-2 How does the INFINITI Navigation System work?
INFO: For approximately 3 or 4 minutes after
system startup, the GPS indicator mains gray, even if accurate positioning is possible.
re-
POSITIONING ADJUSTMENT
When the system judges that the vehicle position information is not accurate based on vehicle speed and gyro sensor data cal­culations, the system will adjust the ve­hicle position information using GPS sig­nals.
RECEIVING SIGNALS FROM GPS SATELLITES
Sometimes, satellite reception is weak. The following are places where signals tend to be weak:
O Inside tunnels and parking lots in
buildings
O Areas with numerous tall buildings O Under multi-layered highways O In a dense forest
Vehicles in these areas may not receive GPS signals (Indicator color: gray).
INFO: The antenna for GPS is located on the rear
parcel shelf insidethe vehicle. Do not place
any objects, especially mobile phones or transceivers, on the rear parcel shelf. Be-
cause the strength of the GPS signal is ap­proximately one billionth of that of TV waves; phones and transceivers will de­crease the strength or may totally disrupt the signal.
DISPLAY OF GPS INFORMATION
This system displays GPS information. Please refer to “GPS information display”
on page 11-17.

DETAILED MAP COVERAGE AREAS (MCA) FOR THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
This system is designed to help you reach your destination, and also performs other functions as outlined in this manual. How­ever, you, the driver, must use the system safely and properly. Information concern­ing road conditions, traffic signs and the availability of services may not always be up-to-date. The system is not a substitute for safe, proper, and legal driving.
Map data covers select metropolitan areas in the United States.
Map data is available on map DVD-ROM. For information about map DVD-ROMs, contact an INFINITI dealer or call the INFINITI Navigation System help desk at 1-800-662-6200 for U.S., and at 1-800­777-0325 for CANADA.
Map data includes 2 types of areas: “De­tailed coverage areas” providing all de­tailed road data and other areas showing “Main roads only”.
NOTE:
Detailed map data is not available in many areas and is generally limited to se­lect major metropolitan areas.
For information on which metropolitan ar­eas are in detailed coverage areas, please refer to the INFINITI Navigation System
Software Booklet (included). When you purchase an updated map DVD-ROM, a new software booklet will be provided.
WHEN A GRAY ROAD OR DARK GREEN ROAD IS DISPLAYED ON THE MAP
O When you are driving on a gray road af-
ter the vehicle has deviated from the suggested route during route guidance, automatic re-routing may not start im­mediately.
O The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for dark green roads. Therefore, if the destination is set on a dark green road, the enlarged map dis­play will return to the ordinary map screen at a point on a suggested road that is near the destination. Also, the voice guidance will stop at a point on a suggested road that is near the desti­nation. Refer to “About route guidance” on page 4-23 for details.
O POI information and street names near
gray roads may not be contained in the map data.

ROUTE GUIDANCE POINT OF INTEREST (POI) DIRECTORY ADDRESS BOOK
The main feature of the INFINITI Naviga­tion System is Visual and Audio Route Guidance in selected detailed map cover­age areas. Utilizing a network of GPS (Glo­bal Positioning System) satellites, the INFINITI Navigation System tracks your lo­cation on the map and directs you where you want to go.
Once you program a destination covered by a detailed map, The INFINITI Naviga­tion System will determine a route from your current location to your destination. The moving map display and turn-by-turn voice commands help the driver determine upcoming turns.
This feature can be especially helpful in finding unfamiliar locations or businesses. The system may be unable to set a desti­nation and/or calculate distance when a destination is outside a detailed map cov­erage area. Additionally, audio route guid­ance may not be available if the destina­tion is outside a detailed map coverage area. For more information on how to pro­gram a destination, please refer to section
5.
The INFINITI Navigation System offers an extensive Point of Interest directory in de­tailed map coverage areas. This directory includes a wide variety of destinations ranging from gas stations, ATMs, and res­taurants to casinos, ski resorts, shopping centers and businesses. By accessing the Point of Interest directory, you can search for addresses and phone numbers for a destination, and with a press of a button, the INFINITI Navigation System will calcu­late a route to the destination.
The Point of Interest directory offers many uses. For example, the directory can be sorted by the various types of restaurants near your current location. If you need an ATM or gas station, the INFINITI Naviga­tion System can point you to the closest one or the closest one of your favorite brand.
For more information on how to use the Point of Interest directory, please refer to section 6.
Using the Address Book feature, you will have the ability to store up to 50 locations in detailed map coverage areas into a per­sonal directory. This is especially useful for frequently visited locations, such as your clients, relatives, or friends. The Ad­dress Book feature will provide you with easy access to frequently visited locations when setting them as your destination.
For more information on how to use your Address Book, please refer to section 7.
3-2 What features are available on the INFINITI Navigation System?
AVOID AREA AUTOMATIC RE-ROUTE DETOUR
By using the Avoid Area feature, you can identify areas or freeways that you would like the INFINITI Navigation System to avoid when plotting routes. For example, if you know of a freeway or area that is al­ways congested with traffic, you can pro­gram the INFINITI Navigation System to plot routes that go around that particular freeway or area.
For more information on the Avoid Area feature, please refer to section 8.
If you miss a turn while using the Route Guidance feature, the INFINITI Navigation System will automatically recalculate a new route to your destination.
For more information on the Automatic Re­Route feature, please refer to section 9.
If you hear about a traffic accident on the radio that is 4 miles (6 km) ahead of you and traffic is backing up fast, you can use the Detour function to calculate an alter­native route that will help you avoid the gridlock caused by the traffic accident. The INFINITI Navigation System has the abil­ity to find an alternative route using sec­ondary roads that will return you to pri­mary roads after a specified number of miles.
For more information on the Detour fea­ture, please refer to section 9.

ABOUT ROUTE GUIDANCE
O The INFINITI Navigation System may
not calculate a route if the current ve­hicle location is too far away from the destination. In this case, please divide your trip by selecting one or two inter­mediate destinations.
NOTE:
There may be cases that carpool lanes are included on a suggested road when the automatic rerouting function is activated and even if the “Use Time Restricted Roads” is turned off. Refer to “Setting the priorities for route calculation” on page 5-35 for details.
O The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for dark green roads. Therefore, if the destination is set on a dark green road, the enlarged map dis­play will return to the ordinary map screen at a point on a suggested road that is near the destination, and the distance and direction to the end point of the suggested road will be displayed on upper right corner of the screen. Also, at this time, the voice will say, “En route to your destination, some roads contain incomplete map data. Turn guidance will not be provided in this area.”
How do I operate the INFINITI Navigation System? 4-23
When approaching the end point of the suggested road, the voice will say, “Enter­ing the road with incomplete map data. Please use the direction arrow and dis­tance information to proceed to your des­tination.” To reach your destination, refer to the map screen, always follow actual roads and regulations and drive safely.
NOTES ON ROUTE GUIDANCE
O The route selected by the system may
not be the shortest, nor are other cir­cumstances such as traffic jams consid­ered.
O Because of the inevitable difference in
road conditions and circumstances be­tween the time you use this system and the time the information was produced for the DVD, there may be discrepan­cies in roads and regulations. In such cases, follow the actual information available.
O During route calculation, the map will
not scroll, however the vehicle icon will move with the actual vehicle’s move­ment.
O During route calculation, buttons such
as MAP , DEST , ZOOM OUT and
ZOOM IN and the joystick will be dis-
abled.
O In some cases, after the calculation is
complete, it may take some time to get the calculated route on the display.
O Waypoints that have been passed will
not be covered by the re-routing calcu­lation.
O If you scroll the map while the sug-
gested route is being drawn, it may take more time to finish drawing.
O If waypoints are set, the system is cal-
culating multiple routes between way-
points simultaneously, and the follow­ing may result.
— If one section (or more) of the routes
between the waypoints is not found, none of the route will be displayed.
— The route may not connect completely
at some waypoints.
— The route may require a U-turn close to
some waypoints.
O Route calculation may not be completed
in the following cases.
— If there is no main road within a range
of 1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the vehicle, a message saying so will appear on the screen. Try requesting route calculation when the vehicle is closer to the main road.
— If there is no main road within a range
of 1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the destina­tion or waypoint, a message saying so will appear on the screen. Try setting the location closer to the main road.
— If the vehicle is too close to the desti-
nation or if there are no branches of the roads to the destination. A message saying so will appear on the screen.
— If it is deemed impossible to reach the
4-24 How do I operate the INFINITI Navigation System?
destination or waypoints because of traffic regulations, etc.
— If the only route to reach the destina-
tion or waypoints is extremely compli­cated.
— If the destination, current vehicle posi-
tion or waypoint is within the “avoid area”.
— If the setting of “avoid areas” covers
the routes to the destination, route cal­culation may not be possible.
O The following may occur when the route
is being displayed.
— If you are requesting a calculation from
the main road, the origin of the route may not exactly match the current ve­hicle position.
— If you are requesting a calculation to a
destination on the main road, the end of the route may not exactly match the destination.
— If you are requesting a calculation from
the main road, the system may show a route from another main road. This may be because the icon to show the cur­rent vehicle position (vehicle icon) is not set accurately. In that case, park
the car in a safe place and reset the ve­hicle icon, or continue driving to see if the vehicle icon appears on the main road before requesting route calculation again.
— There are cases in which the system
shows a detoured route to reach the destination or waypoints, if you set them from memory or facility informa­tion. In order to correct this, you will have to be careful about the traffic di­rection, especially when the lanes with different travel directions are shown separately. Such places are inter­changes and service areas.
— This system makes no distinction be-
tween limited traffic control and total control (blockage). It may show a de­toured route even if the road is usable.
— Even if the freeway preference is set to
OFF, the route may be set on them. To avoid this, set a waypoint on another road type and request calculation.
— Even if the preference is set to OFF for
a ferry line, the route may be set on it. To avoid this, set a waypoint on a road and request calculation.
— Ferry lines, except those which accept
only pedestrians, bicycles and motor­cycles, are stored in this system. When using them, take into consideration the travel time required and operational condition to decide whether to use them or not.
ABOUT THE DISPLAY ERROR
The following cases may affect the display accuracy of the vehicle’s position or travel direction. The accuracy will return to nor­mal if the driving conditions return to nor­mal.
— When there is a similar road nearby. — When the vehicle is traveling on a long
stretch of straight road or series of curves with a large radius.
— When the vehicle is traveling in an area
with a grid road system.
— When the vehicle is making consecutive
S curves.
— When the vehicle is at a large Y-shaped
junction. — When the vehicle is on a loop bridge. — When the vehicle is on a snow-covered
or unpaved road. — When the vehicle has made several
How do I operate the INFINITI Navigation System? 4-25
consecutive turns or traveled zigzag.
— When the vehicle is rotated on a park-
ing lot turntable while the ignition switch is OFF.
— Immediately after the vehicle is driven
out of a parking garage or underground parking lot.
— When the vehicle has different sizes of
tires or tire chains.
— When the vehicle is moved immediately
after the engine is started.
VOICE-ACTIVATED CONTROL SYSTEM (VACS) (if so equipped)
The VACS (Voice-Activated Control System) provides a safe and convenient way of controlling vehicle systems such as the phone, audio, climate control and naviga­tion system. The system is controlled by
the PTT (Push to talk) button. Voice com­mands are picked up by a microphone. When giving a command, voice feedback will be heard through the speaker, and messages will be shown on the display. Voice feedback can be turned off if neces­sary. Personal directories of nametags for phone dialing and radio station presets can be created, and spoken command help is provided.
For details, please refer to the vehicle Owner’s Manual.
USING THE SYSTEM Initialization
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the initialization of the sys­tem is carried out, which takes a few sec­onds. When complete, the system is ready to accept voice commands. If the button is pressed before initialization is complete, the message center display will show “VOICE NOT READY”.
Operating tips
To get the best results from the system, observe the following:
O Close the window before operating the
voice-activated control system (VACS).
The voice-activated control system may
not be able to recognize voice com-
mands due to surrounding noises
(travel noise and vibration). Be sure to
operate the system when the vehicle in-
terior is quiet. While the PTT button is
pushed with the automatic climate con-
trol system fan speed on level 4 or 5,
the fan speed is lowered down to level
3.
O After pressing the PTT button, always
wait for the beep before speaking. O Speak in a natural voice without paus-
ing between words.
